Hello! I am a Registered Nurse with more than six years of Pediatric Nursing experience, 6 years of home-based newborn care and nanny experience, and one year of teaching experience with children ages 2-12. I am available for long term nanny positions, short term and long term newborn care positions (including overnight newborn care), short term and one-time babysitting jobs. I am available from Sunday night June 29th through the rest of the summer! As a baby nurse and nanny, I am focused, thoughtful, intuitive, and empathetic. My standard is the highest English Nanny standard of care - I want to be "the next best thing to a Norland Nanny." In the early months, I focus on helping the baby to establish good eating and sleeping habits. I use a gentle baby-centered approach for both of these important patterns. I am happy to begin working with your family as a Read more Baby Nurse and then transition to a Nanny role as your baby gets older! As a babysitter, I am focused, attentive, and fun! I get down on the floor and play with babies and younger children. For older ones I love doing crafts and am happy to help with homework. Then once they are asleep I am happy to do their laundry or tackle a cleaning project! My qualifications include a current active RN license in Virginia, advanced Newborn Care Specialist training and newborn experience, excellent experience with infants and toddlers, CPR/First Aid certified, background check, updated immunizations, non-smoker, fluent in English and conversant in French. I love dogs but am allergic to cats. For short term babysitting jobs, I am seeking positions with a minimum of 4 hours per shift. For long term positions I am looking for full time only with a minimum of 45 hours per week. I have several excellent childcare references available upon request. Please also see my Nanny Profile, and let me know if you have questions! I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Warm regards, Allison
